Life In the Spirit

An Advantage To Experience

Jesus said it was to our advantage that He goes away so the Holy Spirit would come in His absence. The Holy Spirit is a divine person, not an impersonable force. He is an advantage born again believers should experience.

Spiritual Gifts Part Two

The gifts of the Spirit are still available to all born again believers. The gifts of the Spirit have a ministering purpose and greatly assist believers in Christian living and furthering the kingdom on God. In this message we are concentrating on the gifts of revelation: word of wisdom, word of knowledge and discerning between spirits.

The Holy Spirit Series: Spiritual Gifts

There are nine gifts of the Holy Spirit recorded in I Corinthians chapter twelve. Those gifts are relevant and available to all born again believers. Spiritual gifts are distributed by the Holy Spirit to believers for a ministering purpose. 

The Gift of Tongues

Tongues can be a sign that a believer has received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Tongues are also a spiritual gift. Tongues can also have a devotional use referred to as praying in the Spirit. In this message we make the distinction between the gift of tongues and the devotional use of tongues as a personal prayer language.

The Holy Spirit Series: Tongues Are A Sign

There are three expressions of tongues in the New Testament. In this message we are concentrating on tongues that are a sign accompanying the reception of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. 

The Holy Spirit: The Baptism of the Holy Spirit - B

The purpose of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a promised experience that meets a ministering purpose, a Spirit empowered witness. A world lost in sin desperately needs a church who reaches out in a Spirit empowered witness. 

The Holy Spirit: Baptism of the Holy Spirit - A

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a promised experienced separate and distinct from new birth. The purpose of the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a Spirit empowered life and a Spirit empowers witness.

The Holy Spirit Part Four

When we are born again we are set apart by God, sanctified to live out the plans and purposes of God. The Holy Spirit helps us and empowers us to live the plans and purposes of God. God is holy and He calls us to live a holy life.

The Holy Spirit Part Three

Our first interaction with the Holy Spirit takes place prior to new birth. The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin and reveals our need for a Savior. This first interaction with the Holy Spirit further demonstrates the love He has for people who are lost in their sin.  

Who Is The Holy Spirit Part Two

The Holy Spirit is a divine person, a coequal member of the Trinity. Since He reveals Himself as person with a mind, will and emotions, we can know Him and we should know the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
